PREVIEW: Volcanic Wine, Sicily, and Campania for #ItalianFWT

By
When I extended an invitation to the #ItalianFWT bloggers last month, I wasn't sure what I planned to uncork and pair as we talked about scorched terroir, volcanic wines, Sicily, and Campania. So. Many. Possibilities. 

 Here's what the group has in store for you...

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}
